Neurohumoral blood pressure regulation in lead exposure.
Previous human studies demonstrated that lead exposure may modify the metabolism of catecholamines and of hormones controlled by the hypothalamo-pituitary axis and may affect the kallikrein-kinin system. This paper reports unpublished data on the plasma renin activity of lead-exposed workers; these results are in agreement with those of previous human and experimental studies suggesting that th...
متن کاملMissile-related Lead Exposure and Blood Pressure in Patients with Retained Pellets in the Craniomaxillofacial Region
Background: Environmental and occupational lead exposures are known to cause an elevated blood pressure but can this concept be applied to missile-related lead exposure? Methods: We implemented a controlled, cohort study design to examine study samples with long-standing missiles in craniomaxillofacial region using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and standard sphygmomanometry to measure ...
متن کاملOccupational lead exposure and blood pressure.
BACKGROUND To assess the relation between occupational lead exposure and elevated blood pressure with consideration of a possible confounding effect by noise exposure. MATERIALS AND METHOD Some 112 male and 110 female workers at two lead battery manufacturing factories were recruited for this 1992 study in Taiwan. Study participants received regular physical examinations, including standard m...
متن کاملAssociation between Prenatal Lead Exposure and Blood Pressure in Children
BACKGROUND Lead exposure in adults is associated with hypertension. Altered prenatal nutrition is associated with subsequent risks of adult hypertension, but little is known about whether prenatal exposure to toxicants, such as lead, may also confer such risks. OBJECTIVES We investigated the relationship of prenatal lead exposure and blood pressure (BP) in 7- to 15-year-old boys and girls. ...
متن کاملNeurohumoral regulation of arterial pressure in hemorrhage and heart failure.
HEMORRHAGE AND HEART FAILURE are conditions characterized by reduced cardiac output and arterial pressure. In both conditions, neurohormonal mechanisms are evoked in an attempt to restore arterial pressure to normal levels. However, the relative importance of the various neurohormonal mechanisms in arterial pressure control is quite different in these two states for several reasons, including t...
